When all the money's counted, James Tully probably won't just be able to buy a car, he'll be able to pay cash for a new Mercedes-Benz and hire a chauffer to take him to work everyday.

But I'd suggest you don't deviate from Tully's page to look to others in the Lehigh Valley crowdsourcing for causes. You might just discover that walking five miles to work everyday isn't such a bad deal.

A little background here: Tully has been stopped on his walk to work more than 20 times in the past month or so by law enforcement mistaking him for Eric Frein, the alleged cop killer who's been on the lam in the Poconos since mid-September. He apparently looks like Frein, although I'm not seeing too much of a resemblance. He walks because he doesn't have a car.

Enter gofundme.com, the crowdsourcing website that allows individuals to solicit money for various causes. Someone took up Tully's cause and is raising money to get him a car so he doesn't have to endure the five-mile walk that's been accented by frequent encounters with police, some of which he's said have gotten physical.

Kiera is Kiera Pheiffer of Bethlehem Township, Pennsylvania. Coincidentally, she too was trying to get to work safe on the morning of Oct. 4. The 17-year-old Freedom High School senior pulled out of Derby Lane onto Farmersville Road and was struck by another vehicle. She suffered grave injuries. How much she's recovered remains unclear; her family has for the most part kept her condition private through the ordeal.

But friends, teachers and her coach -- Kiera played varsity soccer for Freedom, among participating in many other extra-curricular activities -- have come together in an effort to raise money to offset medical bills and other expenses, which I'm sure are far more substantial than the cost of the finest luxury car on the market.

In full disclosure, I'm a Freedom graduate so this hits a little close to home, but regardless of my background, it would be difficult for me to justify giving money to some guy who needs a car after visiting the "Kiera's Recovery Fund" page.

For those who think otherwise, go ahead and do the trendy thing. Give your money to "Help James get to work safe" and feel good about it, but before you hit the send button, please visit some of the other gofundme.com pages. You can search them by zip code.

Maybe there's another cause out there that's you'll find more worthwhile. If "Kiera's Recovery Fund" isn't the right cause, perhaps you should check out this one:
